Deep Vein Thrombosis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #1: Swelling In The Legs, Feet, Ankles or Groin
Swelling caused by Deep Vein Thrombosis most commonly occurs in the lower parts of the body like the calves, feet, ankles, legs and groin. Less commonly, DVT can also create swelling in the upper parts of the body including the chest and the arms.
Swelling is usually the first symptom noticed by a patient suffering from DVT. Nevertheless, it is nonspecific and you should know that many other conditions can cause swelling of your lower limbs too.
